A Clarification on whether the Redskins are Re-Building

[Paintrain]

Our 2012 official draft picks:
ROUND PICK IN RD OVERALL NOTES
1 2 2
3 6 69
4 7 102
4 14 109 *from OAK, Jason Campbell trade
5 6 141
6 3 173 *from MIN, Donovan McNabb trade
7 6 213

So we will have 4 players (absent of any trades) in the first 4 rounds of the draft, including the #2 overall pick.. Why are people still whining about the lack of a 2nd round pick?

If it hasn't been said already (I didn't read every post), Allen has shown the ability to make deals. Even if you didn't like giving up 2 1st rounders & a 2nd, he got the deal done the team wanted. Last year he got a no. of trades on draft day that got us more picks. As noted above, he's been able to move discarded players for picks, including Fat Al to the Pats of all teams!

So I'm not concerned w/what we gave up for RGIII, only concerned that he turns into a franchise qb. I have faith that Allen will maneuver in the draft in the coming years to get more picks & continue "rebuilding" the skins.

Isn't every team always rebuilding?

If your responding to my post you didn't actually read what it said. In the first two rounds for 2012, 2013, and 2014 we only have three picks total (instead of six) being one 1st rd pick this year and then 2nd rounders in '13 and '14. Savvy?

I actually wasn't responding to your post (sorry, didn't read it) but it was a general response to some discussion earlier in the thread. I get the math aspect of trading the picks but there was some whining earlier in the thread about us not having a 2nd this year.

Ahhh I'm whicha. Well...if Griffin is the franchise QB we all hope he is those (lost) picks won't be a topic of discussion. Winning cures all!
